As a SoCal native, I love this! It is genius to take an everyday LA experience and transform it into dance.

Earlier this week I learned that a close friend of many years -- my college roommate-- is facing a health challenge. I started this thread because I needed something to make me smile. You all came through! And I love the variety -- everything from Vera Ellen (The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing) to Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo in Thriller to The Full Monty. Thank you all so much! And keep it comin'!


Hugs, OP, and hugs to your friend - I hope she will be okay. Glad you're enjoying this thread - I am too! Spent last night watching a couple of movies posted here.

Supposedly this was improvised and not supposed to be in the movie.

"The story has been passed around for decades, but as the tale goes, the two were just warming up before filming. However, director Emile Ardolino was so enamored with the playfulness of the crawl that he incorporated it into the final film. And thank the cinema gods that he did, because it's one of the greatest examples of on-screen chemistry ever captured."

Was Swayze married at this point? Imagine how his wife felt seeing this improvised scene, which was them goofing around?

Bernadette Peters reminded me of Annie - there are some fun song and dance numbers in that movie!
